"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time.

"Worrying about what happened on Monday, or, what might happen on Wednesday, is at the expense of one's Tuesday."

"Time interval is a strange and contradictory matter in the mind. It would be reasonable to suppose that a routine time or an eventless time would seem interminable. It should be so, but it is not.

And this is right when you think about it. Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all."
